I can't say enough wonderful things about Tip, she's such a great person and went out of her way to accommodate us. She even brought us doughnuts on New Year's Day! Her place is brand new and sparkling clean and, in my opinion, is even nicer than the pictures. I'm not sure why it's listed as a 'private room' because actually you get an entire apartment to yourself, there are no shared common areas except for the washing machine on the top floor. Each apartment (I think there are 6) has its own kitchen, bedroom, living room and bathroom. It was very easy to get into town from Tip's place, taxis were extremely cheap and she is very close to the train stations. The immediate area surrounding the apartment is not very pretty, but it's very safe. I can't recommend this place enough, it was wonderful!
